Wed lunch mtg in Hampton House cafe! and upcoming conferences

One of the last "good" kings of Judah was described as good and right and faithful - for everything he did, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered (2 Chron 31:20-21). Hezekiah had cleansed/reconsecrated the temple, restored right worship, reinstated Passover, broken down the high places, and much more - a driven, and by any measure quite successful, king. But the blessing poured out on him came not because of any specific action he had done, though what he did was good!, but because he sought the Lord with all his heart. This is our prayer for you today: may you, too, seek God with all your heart (mind, soul, and strength) - giving glory to God in all the work he has set before you, whether big or small, whether exciting or tedious. May you practice being faithful in the little things, and rest in his abundant grace.

A final Scripture-prayer: May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord. (Ps 104:34)

We will meet tomorrow (Wednesday) at lunchtime (12:15pm) in Hampton House cafe (first floor) - come join us for fellowship and prayer! Specifically, we will plan and pray over the upcoming academic year and our new and continuing students (and staff and faculty). More announcements below!

Lynn, a research data analyst at JHSPH / MSPH student, is looking for one roommate: Craigslist link here -- They would have their own bathroom and deck. Some of the pictures in the craigslist post are from when the landlord lived there with her family. None of the baby/kid stuff is in the house anymore.

Michelle, a PHCF'er and Hopkins MPH '16, is returning to Baltimore for residency and looking for two female housemates in Upper Fells. Details here: Craigslist link here

Registration is up and running for this year’s Global Missions Health Conference. (What is GMHC? It's like Urbana, for health care students/professionals, community development workers, public health practitioners, and more!). Register HERE and join us in Louisville, KY, on November 9-11 for a time of learning, growing, and being encouraged by others in the healthcare missions field. (Email Teresa at jhsph.phcf@gmail.com if you are going/interested, and we can organize transportation and request free student housing as a group!)

The Lord your God is in your midst, the mighty one who will save. Zephaniah 3:17a

To start you off on your search, we put together a (not comprehensive) list of local churches to which current/past members of PHCF belong. Let us know what churches we've missed, and we'll add to this list!
